Drakeford - Old Friend Lyrics

Hello my old friend
Do you know what I've been through
Well I've lost my way again
The people that I look up to
They have fallen one by one
Trying their best to find You
So here I am old friend
I wanna believe You hear me
But I'm close to giving in
The struggle has left me weary
But I'd give all I have to give
Only to feel You near me, again

This is my white flag waving in the wind
A cry for mercy, in a war that I can't win
Please don't turn from me
After all that we have been through my old friend
This is my white flag, raised up high again

Well there's no one else to blame
For everything I got into
'Cause I went forth in Your name
To places I wasn't meant to
But my life wouldn't be the same
Carrying on without You, my friend

This is my white flag waving in the wind
A cry for mercy, in a war that I can't win
Please don't turn from me
After all that we have been through my old friend
This is my white flag, raised up high again

So I cry mercy, over and over again
'Cause everything's crumbling in
And I'm trying to get out of the rubble now
But I don't know where to begin
Singing over and over again
Can You hear me my old friend

This is my white flag waving in the wind
A cry for mercy, in a war that I can't win
Please don't turn from me
After all that we have been through my old friend
This is my white flag, raised up high again
